{MUSIC} WHERE DOES “NOTHING WAS THE SAME” RANK 5 YEARS LATER

Its been 5 years since Drake dropped his third studio album ” Nothing Was The Same“. It was “Take Care”  that shot Drake to mega stardom, but “Nothing Was The Same” was the album that cemented his legacy in the hip-hop game. Not only did he avoid a sophomore slump with this album selling 635,000 copies first week, he made us embrace his rapping and singing abilities. This album is about Drake bragging about his fame and money but also talks about his personal problems with family and friends aka Nicki Minaj.

The thing about this album is the repeatable factor, you can play any song at any moment in time and still be able to relate to it. With stand out tracks like “Started From the Bottom“, “Worst Behavior“, and “From Time ft (Jhene Aiko) plus several others, this whole album is a vibe. There’s 15 tracks on this album, crazy part is Drake could split it in half drop it separately and go platinum with both. This album is littered with banger’s without question, Even the intro is in debate for the best ever and that’s rare. The way Drake transitions from talking to the ladies to talking his shit it shows why he is the people’s champ. The Instagram captions you get from this album is incomparable, Drake could drop this album today and it would do better off the strength of the quotable in it. This is his best album because it showed the journey of how the boy became a man.

In all this album is a timeless classic without question, but is it his best? It’s definitely in his top 2 since ” Take Care” holds a lot of weight in the public eye. Its  been 5 years and this album still slaps. Its even more crazy because the older you get the more you can relate to tracks like “Pound Cake” and “Too Much” Drake couldn’t have done any better. Let me know what you guys think, is it a timeless classic or am I gassing it? Is it better than ” Take Care” or does that album still reign supreme.

[ENTERTAINMENT] Daz Dillinger Takes Shots At Kayne West: “Your Wife S*cked The Whole Industry”

[ENTERTAINMENT] Daz Dillinger Takes Shots At Kayne West: “Your Wife S*cked The Whole Industry”

Dillinger was in the news earlier this year for making threats against Kayne West, banning him from California and putting out a National alert for all his fellow Crips to attack him in the streets.

“Kanye West…fuck you and your bitch,” the shirtless 45-year-old tells his phone. “That bitch sucked so much dick. She probably ain’t sucking your dick because you be on one. But I got that new song coming out, ‘Fuck Kanye.’ Nick Cannon, beat that n***a ass. You can beat Kanye, you can beat him up.”

“FuckKanyeUp,” which he announced back in May.

This all started when West lyrics in “Ye Vs. The People” pissed off the dog pound member off causing Daz to go on an Anti-Kayne run for months.So in the mist of it all he felt the need to throw shots at Ye’s wife Kim Kardashian. Daz Dilly claims that Kim has messed around with the entire industry, shooting his shot at Kris Jenner because, in his eyes, since her children have turned out the way they are, she must have taught them her skills.

Nick Cannon was previously called out before by Kayne for saying Kim and Drake hookup rumors might be true. So of course Kayne wasn’t having that and had few words for him. “I understand that you used to date my wife, but you know, you get into an interview, don’t mention my wife.” Cannon responded a few hours later, saying that he still has “love and respect” for him, but he wasn’t going to let him dictate what he can and can’t say.

Ye is not having it, when it comes to anybody coming at his wife. He for sure will voice his opinion. Just because Kim is affiliated with Kayne, Daz knows where to shoot his shot. He knows mentioning ye’s wife would tick him off. Daz Dillinger even wants to see them two fight it out. Dillinger even said police even approached him after he pushed the Crips to beat up West.

Did he really have to bring Kim into this??? Smh …

[MUSIC] Drake Cancels Miami Concerts Due to Illness

[MUSIC] Drake Cancels Miami Concerts Due to Illness

Drake cancels two of his shows in Miami after coming down with an illness.

The God plan singer has been set to perform in Florida on Friday September 21, and September 22 as part of the Three Migos tour.

The venue, American Airlines Arena, took to social media on Friday to explain that the rescheduling was “due to circumstances beyond our control,” but Drake offered a more detailed explanation on Saturday, clarifying that it wasn’t production issues, which had seen the start of the tour in July pushed back by two weeks.

“I just wanted to say how sorry I am about these two Miami shows,” the “In My Feelings” rapper wrote on his Instagram Story. “I got so ill so fast and I had never experienced anything like that in my life.”

A source tells Us Weekly that Drake wasn’t admitted to the hospital but was treated at a hotel for a bad case of the flu. The dates have been rescheduled for November 13 and 14.

That’s a bumper for the die hard fans of drake who purchased tickets in hopes to see him, but Health comes first and Drake has to take care of himself. Even though, the dates been move up 2 months from now at least he hasn’t back out of it all together, true fans will understand, and I’m sure when Drake is up and well he will go even thousand times harder when it comes time to perform to make it up to his fans.

ON THIS DATE IN HIP HOP HISTORY [APRIL 19TH]

What’s happening everybody?! We’re in for another real good day in Hip Hop history. And it’s centered around another one of my all time favorites. On this day in 1994 Nas blessed all of our ears with Illmatic. Illmatic was Nas’ debut album and is widely regarded as one of the best of all time. Known for his lyrical skills, Nas painted pictures of life in the projects and told stories will incredible detail while delivering dope flows over complex rhyme patterns. Illmatic is certified platinum and served as the launching point for Nas’ huge career. You can’t talk about east coast rap without mention Nasty Nas.

Besides Nas’ dope lyrics, the album will go down in history for another reason. It was one of the first commercially successful album that featured many different producers. Traditionally, an MC a a producer, or DJ, would come as a package deal. Jam Master Jay did all of Run DMC’s beats. Rakim only spit over Eric B.’s stuff. Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth did all of their stuff together. I could go on for days, but you get the point. Illmatic broke the mold and featured songs from multiple different producers including Q-Tip, DJ Premier, Larger Professor, and Pete Rock. The success of the album made it common place for rappers to get their beats from all over.

On a personal note, this is probably my number one album of all time (I go back and forth between this, Reasonable Doubt, and People’s Instinctive Travels and The Paths of Rhythm depending on my mood). Illmatic is one of the few albums that I actually own a hard copy of. I’ll never forget the day I bought it. A friend and I cut school to buy Watch The Throne the day it came out and I stumbled across Illmatic and couldn’t help myself. We headed straight home and bumped both albums back to back. I fell in love instantly and the CD hasn’t left the player in my car ever since. I could listen to Illmatic over and over again on a loop and never get sick of it. So if you haven’t listened to it yet, don’t talk to me until you do. It’s a must listen for anyone who calls themselves a hip hop fan. Now, I’m gonna go celebrate its 24th birthday by listening to it a couple times, I suggest you do the same.
